This I think I can help you with, and possibly others who might beat me to it.
Alright: here is the link:
http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Setup_and_FilesI'm going to go ahead and download it myself so I can make sure I tell the steps accurately.
>Scroll down until you see the blue "Download" link. Click on it, it should start downloading a file called "FrameworkSetup.zip"
>Make sure you have a file extractor on your computer, like WinRar or 7-Zip. I prefer the latter as it's free and can be downloaded by searching for 7-Zip on any search engine. An extractor is what you need to decompress files like this one in order to make them their normal size. People compress files to make them easier to pass along on the web, and it's very common in mods. If you don't have an Extractor then that would be the issue in total.
>Click on the download to extract the file. I'm in Chrome, so my download appears at the bottom of my screen, but fear not if you are not on Chrome or don't see it. If you open your C: Drive and go to C:\Users\[your computer name/name]\Downloads you'll find it there and can double click on it to start the extraction process. This should open up a separate window with 7z or WinRar or whatever you have.
>You'll want to click the folder that shows up in the window. Don't double click it. You just want to highlight it (make it turn blue) and hit the extract button at the top. It will likely ask you where you want to extract the folder and you can either put it in your Sims folder or extract it to your Downloads folder for you to cut and paste into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 folder.
>This zipped package has the right resource.cfg and a few test mods that will allow you to tell if it's working properly from the get-go (a no-intro mod so that way when you boot the game up you'll know immediately if you see the intro that something isn't working).
Try that and let me know if you have any trouble or need a more detailed explanation about decompression/extraction.
Best of luck and happy simming!
-By the way, for Twallan's Story Progression, you can tune it once you're in the game by clicking on the City Hall when you're in game with your Sims. You can adjust the stories it tells you (whether or not it tells you about everyone in town or just your Sims closest friends/relatives/love interests/etc), as well as every other tuning option from how many supernaturals you want in your population to how soon you will allow other sims to get married after getting engaged. All of those have been preset to a general option that most people enjoy, but it's worth a look-through to make sure it covers what you want!
